Police: Man tries to bite off woman’s toes, again

Police said a dangerous man is behind bars after trying to bite off his ex-girlfriend’s toe again.

Back in February, police said Daniel Anaya attacked his ex-girlfriend and bit the tip of her toe off down to the bone. This week, police said Anaya was arrested and charged with doing the same thing.

Police said Anaya hunted the woman down even though she got a restraining order and moved to another city to get away from him. She told police he came to her house, yelled that she ruined his life, forced her to the ground and then bit her big toe. Police said he also used a cigar cutter to injure her foot.

“Being able to go after a toe with that type of a weapon would cause excruciating pain,” said Celina Westervelt with Santa Fe police. “It is a bizarre case.”

Anaya’s face is scarred in his mug shot because police said the woman tried scratching him, stabbing him with a kitchen fork and gouging his eyes.

“She tried to defend herself. She tried to call police. The victim in this case did everything right. And it's unfortunate that this ended that way,” Westervelt said.

According to online court documents, the last case against Anaya from February was dismissed because a witness or prosecutor didn’t show up to court.
